Reasons for wet testicles

The weather in summer is hotter, and many people will sweat physiologically. Women may get gynecological diseases due to sweating and moisture in summer, and men may have eczema and itching all over the body due to excessive sweating in the testicles. So these are all very normal. In the following article, let's learn about the reasons why testicles are always wet.

What is scrotal dampness?

As we all know, the two testicles in the scrotum produce sperm, but the testicles produce sperm at a temperature of about 35 degrees. If the temperature exceeds this, the sperm production ability will be hindered or even completely stopped. However, the scrotum has a great function, which is that it can cool itself down. It is achieved through the following ways:

1. The skin is very thin and has abundant sweat glands. When the surrounding environment or the internal temperature of the body rises slightly, the scrotal skin will sweat to dissipate heat. This is one of the reasons for scrotal moisture;

2. The skin has many wrinkles, which increases the surface area of ​​the skin, and also increases the surface area for sweating and heat dissipation. Scrotal dampness is a normal physiological phenomenon.

3. The skin is rich in blood vessels, which can quickly take away excess heat in the scrotum;

4. There is a thin layer of muscle under the scrotal skin, which is very sensitive to temperature changes. When the temperature inside the scrotum rises, it relaxes, allowing the surface area of ​​the scrotal skin to expand and sweating to dissipate heat. On the contrary, when the temperature inside the scrotum drops, it shrinks, reducing the surface area of ​​the scrotal skin and reducing sweating to dissipate heat;

5. The scrotum hangs outside the internal organs of the body. This position reduces the impact of the temperature from the internal organs of the body.

What to do if your scrotum is wet?

Although scrotal moisture cannot be avoided, the following methods can be used to alleviate the discomfort caused by scrotal moisture. First, develop a good habit of cleaning the scrotum every day; second, do not wear tight pants, especially synthetic underwear; eat a balanced diet and avoid excess calories and obesity, because this will cause excessive sweating and increase scrotal moisture; finally, avoid alcohol and spicy food to avoid dilation of blood vessels in the scrotal skin and increase sweating. Doing the above points can reduce the symptoms of scrotal moisture.

In fact, for the phenomenon of testicles being always wet, we also have to consider the occurrence of prostatitis. The hot weather plus testicular problems and frequent urination in the reproductive system may be the main factors causing testicular wetness.
